DrawingPoint Object Preview

Derived from: Base Object
Defined in namespace "adsk::drawing" and the header file is <Drawing/Sheet/DrawingPoint.h>

PreviewThis functionality is provided as a preview of intended future API capabilities. You are encouraged to use it and report any problems or suggestions using the Fusion API and Scripts forum.

Because this is a preview of future functionality, there is the possibility that it will change, which will possibly break any existing programs that use this functionality. Because of that, you should never deliver any programs that use any preview capabilities. For a distributed program, you should wait until it has moved from preview to released state.

Description

This object is to define a position in drawing space also used in point of curve or view.

Methods

Name Description
classType

Static function that all classes support that returns the type of the class as a string. The returned string matches the string returned by the objectType property. For example if you have a reference to an object and you want to check if it's a SketchLine you can use myObject.objectType == fusion.SketchLine.classType().

create

Creates a new DrawingPoint at the specified coordinate in the paper space of the sheet. The returned point is standalone and is not associated with any drawing entity. To obtain the DrawingPoints associated with a specific drawing entity (for example, the start, end, mid, or center points of a ViewCurve), use the point accessors provided on that entity rather than this method.

Properties

Name Description
coordinate Returns the coordinate of this point as X and Y values in the paper space of the sheet.
isValid Indicates if this object is still valid, i.e. hasn't been deleted or some other action done to invalidate the reference.
objectType This property is supported by all objects in the API and returns a string that contains the full name (namespace::objecttype) describing the type of the object.

It's often useful to use this in combination with the classType method to see if an object is a certain type. For example: if obj.objectType == adsk.core.Point3D.classType():
